For an ideal current source, what is the voltage gain of the following circuit?(a) gm1 * rd1 * gm2 * 2Rd2(b) – gm1 * rd1 * gm2 * Rd2(c) 2gm1 * rd1 * gm2 * Rd2(d) – gm1 * rd1 * gm2 * Rd2I got this question during an interview.Origin of the question is MOSFET Amplifier with CG Configuration in portion FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right choice is (d) – gm1 * rd1 * gm2 * RD2

The best explanation: The voltage gain for the C.G. stage is SIMPLY gm * Rd1. The voltage gain of the next stage is – gm * Rd2. Note that, the ideal current source exhibits INFINITE OUTPUT impedance and doesn’t AFFECT but only increases the linearity of operation.
